Chili is one of America’s most hotly debated dishes, literally and figuratively. Beans or no beans? Tomato or chili base? Beef, pork, or chicken? Everyone swears their chili is the best and they’re all ready to throw hands over it. Today, I’m taking on the thankless job of settling this culinary civil war. We’re going to cook and rank 5 of the most iconic chili styles from the land of the free.. From Texas Red (which doesn’t believe in beans) to Cincinnati Chili (which somehow believes in spaghetti), we’ll explore the flavors, history, and cultures behind each bowl. Let’s finally decide which chili deserves to be crowned king.
